During deliberations in Ghislaine Maxwell’s criminal trial, the jury sent a written request to Judge Alison J. Nathan asking for transcripts of testimony from several of the prosecution’s key witnesses, including three of the four women who accused Maxwell of grooming and trafficking them for Jeffrey Epstein. The jurors specifically requested the testimony of “Jane,” “Carolyn,” and “Annie” — three central witnesses whose accounts detailed years of abuse and Maxwell’s alleged direct role in facilitating it. The request was seen as a sign that the jury was reviewing the case carefully and revisiting witness statements to determine Maxwell’s culpability in the conspiracy charges. The note also asked for clarification on how certain testimony related to the timeline of Maxwell’s alleged involvement with Epstein, showing jurors were zeroing in on crucial details before reaching a verdict.

Judge Nathan responded by explaining that while the jury could be provided with the official trial transcripts of testimony already entered into evidence, any materials not part of the record — such as excluded statements, depositions, or exhibits not admitted — would not be shared. She directed court staff to assemble the requested documents but reminded the jurors to remain within the scope of admitted evidence. Nathan also told the jury to take its time deliberating and not to rush due to the holiday period, ensuring that the process remained deliberate and thorough.
